The only reason I still have any money at AP is because I have like 48xxx ARPs and need 50k to cash them out for $$. I've played a couple $5 donkaments on there and lost in the first 5 mins with something ridiculous happening like a 2 or 3 outter. On the bright side, Kamil has been pwning this 3re and 5fo's the past couple days and been doing well on stars too! Good think we haven't been doing last longers for shits!
Anyways, as soon as I get those points, I won't be back on AP. Traffic is low, that whole scandal thing happened(never really bothered me because I wasn't affected but it IS ridiculous from a business standpoint) and most importantly...traffic is low! There are so many more people on Stars at the NL25 and 50, sure still a lot of bad players obv but the overall play is better which reduces variance for a guy like me AND I'm doing much better against them so I'm happy.
Anyways....I just sorta thought of this now and might add to it but March's goals are:
1. Make a $1000 from NL25 only
2. Hit a 4-figure score in a multi
3. Gym, gym gym
4. Figure out if I'm going to be in school this summer to finish or working and coming back

Moving along to Sunday, played 5-8 mtts on Stars today. Had two cashes...I can't remember which the first was in, will update with stats once they're on OPR.
The 11cubed went really well, 900 players, I played solid for the first 3 hours. Made one small mistake looking for a race when I opened in EP with 66 and ran into a short stack with 10s. Had a set of 5s beat a set of 3s, we both flopped it and I stacked him for a big pot. Around the bubble, I was sitting top 10 and the CL raised it in the sb. He was playing aggressively and I opted to flat call with AJos. The board was a very harmless 944, he tried to lightly check raise me on the flop, I put in a nice size 3-bet and he folded.
Anyways, things got super cold, I made my usual crucial mistake late....when I was re raised preflop by a very bad player I had been with for hours, he raised just more than 2x which a donkey begging for action with a monster would do. I did not take the time to thoroughly think the hand through, he put out a 1/4 bet on the low flop x x x, he was short and it was fold or shove. I chose to shove, too fast, and he snap called with AA obviously.
I was far from crippled even after that pot, but did not get a playable hand for the next 30-45 minutes and with 19 players left, shoved K10 on the button into AQ. 18th place would have paid $100 for my efforts but I was down to 8bbs-ish and needed to shove. Oh well.
Stats to be added tomorrow.
Finally, Kamil and I decided to play the $5 1K on AP at 1am. 5 hands in......hehe, bed time anyways, but I def. managed to get it all in with the best!

No better way to start a blog....
than with some bad beats! Some stats too from this week. Been playing a lot since we have the week off from school. Think we're suppose to be 'reading' on reading week but hey, whatever.
The good news is I'm up a bunch running a heater on stars playing NL50 and NL25....really for a couple hundred bucks. As soon as I get my poker tracker fixed I'll have some numbers of actually interest on here.
Also, I've played the daily 15k with 2500-3000 people the past 2 days...taken 48th and 180ish which was obv. for no cash but hey, it's a decent result. I've also played a few other 11 and 5.50 mtt's on stars with several similar results...cashing in 3/4 of those I think, nothing big though. I'm playing pretty well so hopefully we'll go deep 1 timeeee soon :)
So, on party they have these steps...buy in to step 1 is $3, buy in to step 6 is 500 and it finally actually pays out.
Long and the short is I played a bunch, get a dozen step 2's or so and decide to go with it and being only realistically optimistic that maybe I can get 1-2 shots at step 6 and make a cash.
Here we are, Step 5 ticket number 1, playing yesterday. Get to 5 handed and the blinds are ridiculous so only the poker gods can control what happens from this point on but a double up would have been nice here....**obv side note is this is a $170 sng so kinda a big deal for a dinky low limit guy like me!

SO
on we go back down to step 4 right away, this is the closing hand of that one...standard cooler, nothing special...but as a chain of events, sucks big donkey balls. Also, there is lots of space to fill here....
obv. note is again, I'm ss and he isnt folding here, he is just raising in position and with the blinds at what they are, I can't blame him for raising an ace on the button, and my move is risky at best but I had a read, had no chips left and had to giver, ah well.

Intro
Just setting this blog up now because everyone else is doing it and I'm a follower. I'll be posting stats and some hands just to keep my game in check.
I'm dupie20 on stars, dupie on AP and Full Tilt. I play low limit donkey level poker including NL50 6max and below, SNGs...primarily turbos and dabble in MTTs now on stars...generally anything under $22.
Enjoy!
